Small family-run caravan site at a North Yorkshire golf course
York city centre 15 minutes' drive; designer shopping outlet 10 mins
Restaurant, woodland walks and several golf options on site

Woodland walks on one side, a golf course on the other, and a cosy restaurant serving up tasty meals to get you through whatever activity you’ve chosen for that day – now doesn’t that sound just a little bit fabulous? This is the setup on offer at Swallow Hall, a small family-run caravan site in the North Yorkshire countryside a couple of miles from the village of Wheldrake and six miles from the centre of York. This place is something of a dream for golfing types – in fact the caravan site is inside the grounds of Swallow Hall Golf Course, which has a pay-and-play 18-hole facility that doesn’t require any tee time booking. Guests also have the option of playing on the 9-hole Academy course (par 28), honing their skills at the short game area or extending the day with some time on the floodlit driving range. Meanwhile, non-golfers have direct access to Forestry Commission woodland walks, or may prefer to get out for a day of retail therapy at the Designer Outlet York, 10 minutes’ drive away. Whichever one of these you fancy, you can get set up for the day at The Roost restaurant on site, which is open for breakfasts, lunches, drinks and sweet treats throughout the day (closed Monday and Tuesday, and not open evenings). It’s a popular place so booking a table is recommended if possible. Wheldrake has a pub and a small shop for your other sustenance needs. Pitches have access to an eco-friendly modern toilet and shower block; please note that only eco-friendly biodegradable toilet fluid can be used on site.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: A lovey caravan park that is well-maintained and orderly, ideal for walking, especially with nearby woods enhancing the experience. Shower /toilet block kept to a good standard.

Disliked: There are limited options available to do in the immediate vicinity, and it is advisable to have a car or use public transport to reach any nearby locations.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Excellent shower and toilet facilities, warm and very clean.

Used the golf club for breakfast. Lovely food. Also used the golf club for a drink in the afternoon sat outside in the sunshine.

Disliked: On a rural bus route, so infrequent buses, so called a taxi to get into York.

Liz H. Apr 2025

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: What a delightful campsite! The entrance sets the tone - that of peace and refinement passing down a hedged drive past the Swallow Hall Golf Course. There is a barrier with an entry code which you are given in advance and you can then select your pitch. The pitches are spacious and well defined on a flat, well cared for site. Woodland is at the end of the site with access for lovely walks which is perfect if you have dogs or just enjoy a quiet, tree-lined stroll. There is the “19th Hole” which provides food and refreshments during the day. The showers and toilets are excellent, impeccably clean with no button press to get water in the showers and the temperature is adjustable. There is a hairdryer available free of charge for those who are on non-electric pitches ( or, of course, electric pitches). Water is available at either end so is not far away and the sanitary disposal is good but needs to be checked more often because some caravaners seem not to know how to use it properly and there was detritus on the ground when we visited. Not the fault of the owner, who do their rounds twice a day to ensure that all is well. Swallow Hall is perfectly placed for access from the A1(M) and roads to York and Selby. There are supermarkets within a few minutes drive. Of course, the main attraction is York itself. Parking is not cheap but it has to be done and there is excellent provision for Blue Badge holders. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Swallow Hall, recommend it unreservedly and will certainly return.

Disliked: Loved everything!
